Design-first landscape design for Guerneville properties

Guerneville sits in the redwoods along the lower Russian River, with river cottages, hillside cabins, and second homes tucked under the trees. We design gardens that work in deep shade and on steep, wooded ground.

Redwood shade, acidic soil, heavy winter rain, and river flooding define gardening here. We design shade-loving planting, drainage and erosion control for slopes, and flood-aware layouts for river-flat lots.

Cabin and cottage lots reward simple, well-made design: decks and terraces that catch the sun that does reach the ground, paths that hold up to wet winters, and defensible space where the forest meets the house.

Better Than DIY
When we decided to remove our swimming pool and redesign our backyard, we planned to do it ourselves. After we couldn't agree on designs or scope, we hired Hall Landscape Design. Ian incorporated our ideas and his expertise into a design that exceeded our expectations. He was pleasant, flexible with changes, and stayed in communication throughout. Highly recommend.

Clear Plan + Smooth Execution
Ian and his team did a wonderful job. He created a personalized, functional space, gave multiple options, and delivered a detailed plan any contractor could use. After design, his team connected us with reputable contractors for bids. Highly recommend.
